Started my working career for the world’s largest construction company, Bechtel Corporation, then Stearns Rogers, and continued to smaller construction companies until starting my own business Turn Key General Contractors in 1993. I sold that company to my employees (2005) and with mostly sweat equity constructed Academy View Self Storage across from the Air Force Academy, academystorage.com. I married Lynne Peters (1978) and we have two children. Our daughter and her husband and our two grandchildren live only a mile from us. Our son lives in our house in Hawaii. We spend our winter months there! I return for spring skiing. To stay in some kind of shape I play racquetball and senior softball. It has been our privilege over the past 40 years to participate in mission’s trips all over the world, Haiti, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Botswana, Ukraine, Russia, Venezuela, and Thailand. We have committed to going to Thailand each fall for a month to do water projects and to minister to any other needs the hill tribe people groups have in Northern Thailand. These people know real poverty! Few have electricity, running water (never hot, and if they have cold running water it is polluted), no sewer, no heat other than a wood fire on sand on the floor of their bamboo hut, grass roof, one bedroom for 10 family members all sleeping on a thin mat on the floor, work from 4:00 am to 10:00 pm every day with only two tools, a machete and a hoe. If anyone is interested in going to Thailand with us please let us know. It is a life changing experience! And, no, you are not too old or feeble!!
